As you can probably tell from the picture of these crochet newborn booties, they are extremely warm. (I tested by putting half my hand in there.) 
If they were big enough I’d get my big foot in them!
Bubs will love the warmth and comfort from a pair of these snug booties so I hope you enjoy making them as much as I do. I have made truck loads of them!

“Good book for anyone who needs a choice of booties” August 1, 2010
I needed to make some baby gifts quick and I found what I needed in this book with bootie patterns to crochet for both boys and girls.
I intend to use it to keep gifts on hand so I will be prepared next time. I love the choices.

Booties made by Crochet Hooks You Visitors
If you have made a pair of booties with the help from this pattern and tutorials and would like to display them here then use the contact form to send me an email and I will post your bootie pictures on this page with your first name only. Thank you.
Made by Neha.
Neha has kindly shared her photos with us of the booties she has made from these tutorials. Here is the first pair of booties Neha has made. Mmm, these colors make the booties look so snuggly.
These are the second pair of booties Neha made. Aren’t they gorgeous?! I love these ones! Neha has left the top off the booties, crocheted a band and added it to the front with buttons. So very cute!
Made by Rell.
Rell made this pair of crochet newborn booties with Stitch Nation Bamboo Ewe in Mercury yarn.
Rell made another pair of crochet newborn booties with Caron Simply Soft in Sage yarn. Great job, they look perfect!
Made by Dana.
This pair of booties was made by Dana using the help of the video tutorials above.
As you can see, Dana has added her own spin on this bootie pattern and has added laces and skate blades to create figure and hockey skates.
What a brilliant idea!
And here are Dana’s skate booties in action on both bub’s feet. So sweet.
White figure skates for the girl and hockey skates for the boy.

Can you please send me a copy of easy baby booties …the white and blue easy one.
cant print…Ive watched the tutorial but i need the written instructions because I am not
as fast as you are.
Thanks
Mrs. Geralyn
Hello Mrs. Geralyn,
I have emailed you the pattern. I hope you enjoy making them.
Hi, this is a great post! Thanks..
Hi Paula
Thanks for the great tutorials on Youtube. They are super easy to follow and not to fast for this beginner. Keep up the great work!!
That’s great to hear Kelly! Thank you very much.
hi..I’d like to stitch these newborn booties but i don’t have a 3mm hook size. Instead I have a G/6-4.25mm hook. Is that ok for this? Do I have to add or decrease any stitches by using this hook?
Hi Nitya,
Yes, you can use a 4.25mm hook, I have before and the booties come out fine. I’d suggest using a category 3 lightweight yarn if you use the 4.25mm crochet hook because then you won’t have to add or decrease stitches.
Hi Paula.
First of all, I loved your tutorial of “how to chrochet newborn baby booties”. It was so easy and so fun to follow. I made one pair as similar to yours by following your tutoral. They looks very cute. So, thank you so much for that.
But one thing I wanted to ask you. What if I want to crochet some booties for a 2 year old boy. How many hooks should I have on my pin or how long a chain should it be? Do you hvae a similar crochet tuorial of booties for 2 years old boys?
Keep your good work. I wish for some more of your videos.
Thank you so much for your help.
Hi Meenu,
Thank you, I’m glad you had so much fun making my newborn baby booties. I love this pattern too and have made so many!
At the moment I don’t have any patterns for 2 year old boys but I will definitely put it on my to-do list to make a pattern and tutorial.
Thank you for your support.
I know how to crochet, but have not done anything in 20 years. My daughter in law expecting my first grandson in 7 weeks and she wants booties. Tradition was, her mother always made booties for the grandchildren, but sadly she is gone now. Homemade mean so much more. Stitches of Nanas love! Just curious if I spend an hour a day, how long to finish, as I NEED SOON! LOL! Thank You!
Hi Nana Popa,
I would say that if you follow the video tutorials then you would get a pair of these booties done faster if you haven’t crocheted in awhile. But even if you just follow the written pattern, each bootie could possibly take you a few hours. 7 weeks is definitely enough time to have them done! lol
All the best with your new grandchild and yes I agree, homemade is better.
These are soooo cute. Thank you for the pattern. I’ll be making a pair for my dear friend’s first grand baby! Can’t wait to get started!
Thank you, Diane! When you finish them share a picture of them on the Crochet Hooks You Facebook Page so we can all see them!
Hi… Can you give a pattern of the second one that Neha made…pretty please.. I want to made a pair if those to give this Xmas… Thanks in advance… God bless you
Hello Michelle,
One of my bootie patterns similar to what Neha has made is this one here at http://www.crochethooksyou.com/crochet-toffee-apple-baby-booties-pattern/
Thank you so much..hope you won’t get tired of posting new and beautiful patterns.. God bless. .（＾ν＾）
Thank you Michelle, no I won’t get tired of posting new patterns for you all to make. I love doing it!
I love the baby booties you made. I love crocheting and I will appreciate it if you could send me instructions for the patterns. Are they free?
Thanks a lot.
Alice

Hi Paula,
I am so happy to have found your tutorials! I’m now following you on Facebook too. Many thanks for the amazing work. I just made these adorable newborn booties (ill send you a pic), but they are a bit too small as my baby keeps growing so fast
. As a new crocheter, this might be a silly question; but I was wondering how to use this same pattern, but make different sizes? Would I increase the hook size, or use a chunky yarn, or both? I’m hesitant to add stitches, as this might make them too big or affect the pattern. Any advice would be awesome! My daughter is 3 months (but I wouldn’t mind them being a bit big so they will last longer). Thanks Paula, keep up the great work!
Hi Melissa,
I’m happy you found my tutorials too! Thank you for following on facebook. I’d love to see your picture of these booties you’ve made! To make the next size up try using a 4.0mm crochet hook using the same yarn and you don’t need to change the pattern at all. Let me know how you go!
Thanks for the pattern!! I tried this and I got a slightly bigger size of bootie… so I’ll follow it again, I am bad at counting stitches! I had a question, I’m new to reading patterns, how do you know when to only stitch in the back loop versus stitch through both loops when it’s not explicit?
THANKS!
Hello Karli,
You only stitch into back loops when it states in for that row or round. Otherwise, all other rows and rounds are done as normal (through both loops).
You are welcome. You’ll get better at counting stitches the more you do it.
Always take a look at the pattern notes too before starting because it may state something different like ‘work into back loops for all rows or rounds’.
Hope this helps you out.
Thanks for the tips!! I finished your pattern and the booties look so cute. I used Petal Pink RHSS yarn and I will give them to my friend for her new baby girl. Really love your site… really helped a beginner like me!!
Hi Karli,
You’re welcome! I hope your friend’s little girl loves her new booties! And that’s great that you love my site, I’m happy I can help others to crochet.
Hi,
I only have 2.5 hook and ball of wool size also.
How can I convert to have the right size of boots?
Thanks a lot by advance
best Regards
Hi Pamela,
I’m not too sure, it’s probably just easier to use what I have used in this pattern to be sure that you get the right size bootie.
love these!! would you have the pattern for a bigger size? i have a 5 mth old and would love to make some of these for winter this year.
thanks
Hi Kellie,
If you just use a 5.0mm hook you will get the size you are looking for and you can use the same pattern without having to change it.
My daughters hockey coach has a new baby boy. I would love to make the little hockey skates for him. Do you have any idea how I would do it? I love your pattern for the booties!
Thanks.
Hi Sherri, I’m really glad you love my pattern. I’m sorry but I haven’t designed any hockey skate booties myself so I don’t know how to do that at this time.
Hi, I use a lot of your patterns and find them really easy to use. I only have one little problem, I have to use a hook one full size bigger to get the same length as you. But since working that out, I can make them very easily . Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Hi Jodie, I’m happy to hear you find my patterns easy. Thank you for leaving your comment, it’s much appreciated.
